STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The decision to pursue my Masters in Computer Science in America is the result of my search for a broader, more flexible, more interactive and challenging education than that offered in India. To me a computer or a piece of algorithm is the tangible outcome of an abstract mathematical thought hidden. Graduate study research is the natural progression of my career objective.

To ascend the first few steps towards my goal of career in Computer Science, I took the Math stream in intermediate (10+2), cleared EAMCET exam and got admitted for Bachelors degree in the Department of “Information Technology” at Vijaya Engineering College affiliated to the reputed Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India. Though I got some exposure to some aspects of Computers in my high school, a comprehensive foundation in all the fields of Computer Science began after I entered my B.Tech. The curriculum of my undergraduate program, while stressing on basic concepts and theoretical ideas, gives importance to practical implementation and experimental work. This has stimulated my active involvement in my undergraduate studies.

During my four year undergraduate course, I found Computer Networks, Database Management System, and Distributed Databases most interesting. The field of Computer Networks interested me the most because of the scope for breaking new ground, as well as the vast applications possible from a LAN in the small organization to the whole internetworking. I have developed familiarity with a variety of different networks and their protocols that are currently in use. I am also aware that the installed base of networks is fairly large and is still growing. Nearly all UNIX shops run TCP/IP. Many large businesses still have mainframes running SNA. Personal computer LAN’s often use Novell NCP/IPX or Apple Talk. ATM systems are starting to become more widespread. Finally we have the specialized protocols in use on satellite, cellular and infrared...
